Hydroelectric dam.

Worldgate array.

Superconductive conduit.

Supercapacitor.

Worldwall Inspection Badge.

Worldgate Safety Necklace.

The instructions, blueprints, designs, and everything for all of these devices all came from Princess Celestia, to various ponies.

Yet… the Princess Celestia I know doesn’t believe in the Multiverse. She doesn’t believe in physical conduits for magic or other energies, either.

It makes no sense.

But we’re building them anyways. According to the instructions sent to us, which I have confirmed were sent by the legitimate Royalty of Equestria, we need to build these devices and find a new home for Equestria in some other universe, before ours collapses on us.

It’s about time we put the Agency’s true might to work, I suppose.

Over the last month, we built both the first two, and a fair number of the latter two. The middle two are components of all four of the above.

Interestingly, the various talents available in Ponyville were able to improve on every single one of the blueprints. The badges will inspect the worldwall in the other universe, and glow green if it’s stable or red if it’s collapsing.

They glow red in Equestria.

The necklaces will teleport us back home to Equestria if something happens.

Today, we opened the first thousand portals, and sent five ponies through each one.

Five seasoned agents. I’ve called almost eight percent of the Agency Reserve to active duty for this mission, and intend to increase that as needed.

Almost a thousand of those ponies rifted back within the first few minutes with their necklaces, and another two thousand returned from their portals fairly quickly. Six hundred and twelve portals were then closed as the worlds they went to were either dangerous to ponies, or featured unstable worldwalls.

Less than two hours later, a further three hundred eighteen portals were closed as inhospitable- some had no magic, some had no food, some had no light. At least one had no ground- our Agents spent a full hour trying to find the end of an invisible platform in what appeared to be an endless sky.

But we’ve had affirmative, peaceful contact with unfamiliar beings in six worlds already- an existing civilization. It so happens that these six worlds are also six of the ones that transform our bodies to match the locals when we cross, but that’s okay.

It is the Agency’s job to keep Equestria safe.

And if keeping Equestria safe requires moving Equestria to another world, we will do it.

Oh, and in case you’re wondering, this journal exists entirely inside my head. My counselor- Lyra- knows nothing of the Agency, and I intend to keep it that way for as long as I possibly can. That said, she has recommended journaling to help me deal with my PTSD. I wonder if journaling in my head like this will help…?
